The Magna Pater recovered in an instant, pouncing back into its challenger. This time it would leave nothing behind for the abomination to fix itself from. The deepwoods horror had a special ability which only the dead knew of. It could regenerate by eating.

It once again entangled the abomination and began tearing into it, ignoring the wounds inflicted upon itself. Every chunk it bit out was a chunk restored to its being. When the abomination was too ruined to do any more damage, then the Magna Pater would begin clawing up its own body so that it could absorb every last bit. By the time it was done, there would be nothing left but a massive wet patch of the Magna Pater's own blood dying the grass a blackish-red hue. It turned then upon the Taken. It had ignored them initially, but now that they had collectively grown a set of balls, they were annoying. It dove into the horde and would not be finished with them for quite a while.

I realize that I have typed some unsavory words. I know you've probably already seen them, wish you hadn't. My apologies, that was a side of me that belongs in the gutter. Arguments are commonplace in roleplay and aren't something that should get in the way of maties. I've been in so many disputes that I'm very used to resorting to insults, and I've been trying to cut back on being a dick. I've edited out my greasy rebuttals. One of them was a cocky high stakes match offer. I love ranked matches and steep odds, but not if I have to feel bad all the way through. At the expense of looking *deep, farting grunt of disgruntlement* cowardly, (I know how it looks, couldn't quite totally disavow or ignore the mention of that on account of how incredibly pussy I'd look for posting such a thing and then pretending it didn't exist an hour later... You know what I mean, it's a guy thing...), I'm detracting that offer forever, and have dropped everything else in the name of good sportsmanship. Sorry man, sorry. Didn't really mean to insult you or imply anything. You're a great roleplayer, fun to muck about with.

Hope we can start over and forget all the shit. I'm sure each of us has our own viewpoint about what should happen, but the fact of the matter is that's no reason for anyone to get mean like I did. Let's just agree that it was an accidental clash of reasoning. If you can forgive me, feel free to engage in the interracial shake of quasi-socialist friendship.

The Magna Pater taught the abomination what ground game was all about. With a hog-like grunt, it entrapped its foe within the thick coils of its tail and the folds of its wings before shredding the helpless thing like how a cat shreds window curtains. It tore the abomination limb from limb, decorated the body with protruding bones, strung out the rancid intestines like tinsel, and propped it up like a fuck-ugly Christmas tree. Forget grappling. Trying to grapple with the Magna Pater was comparable to an anemic retard trying to wrestle up a Tsavo lion in the far reaches of Southern Africa. Several seconds after having been interrupted, the blood-sopped creature raised itself up off the ground to soundlessly observe Saaria. It was as still as a statue. Or a gargoyle. It didn't move after her or make any sudden movements, like how a bear sometimes acts when meeting a hiker. Surely though, no thoughts comparable to those of a bear existed within the monster's mind. For whatever reason it merely regarded her, some things are best left unsaid. It would remain where it was for a while even after she moved out of sight.

@Cruallassar
You only tried to use my own argument of not reading posts against me instead of trying to find your own that make sense. You ignored how I said the "shards of rock" (you said shard singular) is moving very, very fast. Not only that, but you clearly haven't read my last response concerning Newton's law. On a separate note, the blink reflex is great but not if you don't see what's coming, which is the general idea behind a surprise attack. Also, I've not been mistaken about the posts. Are there drugs involved here?

You're actually calling my character overpowered in comparison to yours. Doth mine eyes decieve me? Basically you seem to think Shash shouldn't even be able to predict where Crual is well enough to have a chance of winning right after having said you try to keep Crual's power low by not having him simply be invincible. Well, allow me to be the first to thank you for expending effort to not crush us all right off the bat. Hallelujah, hark the angels sing. Thank you so much for giving us a fair chance of winning by not taking serious hits and trying to argue against anything that doesn't fit your image of a great victory.

I know my character's limits are vague. Know why? It's to keep fights about skill rather than who just has more powers. I like matches to be about creativity and practicality.

And yes, you totally have been trying to tell me how strong my character should be ever since it finally found a real opening. I haven't been doing the same to you, and it's no skin off my back if you don't include vital details only to try to insert and make them up later to have things go in your favor. I try to never be the first to make any OOC'ly complaints, which is obvious if you'd scroll back. I said I like to go with the flow. I try to adapt and be reasonable to keep things fair.

Looks though like that ship has sailed.

P.S.
There is literally nothing here to be flattered about.

Most likely. It might try to weave through gravestones or something to lose him first, it depends on the circumstances.

Luckily Crual was able to blink in time to avoid the poison. You know I play another character called Zande who spits venom, and out of the dozens or so fights I've had with him, every single person saw the surprise poison attack coming, despite it being a surprise and all, whether by "luck" or just reflex. It didn't hinder him in the slightest.

The escape power does work against magic. Crual dodged the other vampire's spells with ease. They can hurt him, yes, but he is still agile and quick enough to avoid them. It's about as much a weakness as saying a human is weak to a bitch slap. Great, but you can always avoid the person trying to slap you and play it off as skill. Plus, you mentioned that it takes a certain kind of magic to hit him. Etheral, not physical spells. Screw elementals. Oh, how very daring.

If the arrow shafts are struck hard enough, the transferred shock could detonate the explosive head.

You seem to think it's a privilege for Shash to have lived this long. I think it's the opposite. He's been getting by through sheer wit and skill, as opposed to just vanish/fire repeat, vanish/fire repeat, vanish/fire repeat. He lost an entire arm, and when you only have three limbs, that equals a true disadvantage.

I gave my definition of clobber in the initial action. I said it would be strong enough to "put him out of his senses" and "stun" him long enough for the monster to haul him in for a kill. That's my original intent, and that is how strong the attack is. Plus I mentioned that in the least it would also ruin his aim because you know, it's pretty hard to get a clean shot when getting whomped in the arm, bow, and arrows before takeoff. Yes, the bow would get hit too, I mentioned it would in the initial action. Intent and actual description, as opposed to you trying to undermine my actions with details that haven't even been referenced to exist. Details such as Crual's varying arm location (seems to change a lot?), whether his arrows are knocked or not, if he appears four inches in some random direction and how that reduces the chances of him dying to zero, ect, ect, ect. Those are not factors because you did not even remotely include them, and its too late now to start trying to change everything to fit your idea of what happened. You still obviously haven't read anything that I've written so far. How many times must I say it? The tail attack was in progress before Crual appeared, and when he did it would land as he appeared which is also the instant he intended to fire. But the tail had been obviously meant to interrupt Crual. That was the intent. The intent was to interrupt Crual. I implied, through that action, that Shash is capable of doing that and such would be the course of action if not reacted to in time, which of course Crual couldn't do as he was distracted.

Must I bring in Mojo Jojo to get my meaning across?


It does not matter at all what you try to make of it. I made my post with the intent of having the tail whip whomp Crual in time and ruin his shot. I didn't type that maybe it would not land fast enough or that perhaps there was a chance for it to self fail. I typed what I meant to type, and my meaning will not be twisted by nitpicking. Inventing all these little scenarios where it doesn't work means nothing, because I already made it clear what I had wanted to occur and Crual was unable to react to stop it. Now you are only trying to look and exploit all the little nooks and crannies, grasping for handholds.

And yes, it did aim for the bow too. Go back and read my post. Here's a snippet.
"And even if that didn't occur, of all things, there was always the consolation prize which the beast had set its mind on attaining. The ranger's bow."

And of course the bowstring and arrows are near Crual's chin, so I need not say more.

It does not matter for the umpteenth time how fast Crual is or how cheap his insta attacks are. Shash timed it so he'd be hit as he appeared, right as he was going to fire so that it would blow him up or utterly ruin his aim. My version of the events would be...

Shash throws rock and begins tail attack / Crual appears, avoids rock and doesn't see tail / Crual tries to fire instantly as he appears, but gets blindsided by the tail attack which had been already in progress and the timing is entirely, completely, factually, intentionally, absolutely, accurate because that's just how timely and fast it is because the intend that was written was for it to be capable of doing such / Elf blows up, or gets knocked silly and torn apart.

Yeah, Crual's fast but that won't help him if he gets sundered the moment he appears. I know that you can spend all day saying that since he fires the arrows right as he appears, there is no way to stop them because its all instant. I say the tail hits him right as he appears instantly and throws off his aim, and I can spend all day saying that too. Oh, and how can you say with a straight face that having the shafts of your knocked arrows pummeled won't ruin the aim? It's common sense that it will.

And I wonder, can't Crual just beat anybody by phasing next to them and insta-firing the arrow barrage? or just phase all around them barraging left and right because he can lock and load whilst ethereal? I don't even think he is even remotely low tier. If he had been against virtually any other low tier character, I don't believe they'd have a chance. This all strikes me as a mismatch. Just a good thing it's yours truly taking the heat rather than some other poor sap who uses a physical character.

Anyways, if neither of us budges it is an impasse.
